convert light socket to outlet?
I've got a partially finished attic space in my house that I'd like to be able to use as a computer room/den area. I plan on having up to 3 computers/monitors as well as other misc computer appliances. The problem is that there is only one light fixture in the room and no electrical outlets.
Part of the walls are still bare and I can see where the line comes up through the wall and there is a box where it splits in 3. 1 goes to the baseboard heater in one room, then to the thermostat for that heater, then to the other thermostat in the other bedroom and on to its' baseboard heater, then back to the box where it came from. There is also a 3rd line coming from that box that runs to the one light fixture in the room. Neither baseboard heater gets used very often. Is it possible for me to turn this light socket into a grounded outlet?
I've tried doing a lot of reading here and on other electrical sites, but I cannot find any information specific enough for me to feel comfortable making any changes.
thanks,
josh
